I see javascript classes for each library, and directory itself, but I do not see any classes for actual files/details within the actual directory.

Is there any way to actually get that information, as one thing I would like to do is completely customize the file listings themselves. Preferring, of course, not to have to use JavaScript to try to parse the database files directly.

If this doesn't currently exist which I suspect is the case, this would also end up being a feature request to get said functionality incorporated in developement (obviously after 3.16b is officially released).

Thanks,

Any work started on it yet, or is it still new and untethered thus far? If I start on anything myself, I want to make sure it's designed to be compatible with SBL's approach, as the main point I like SBL is that the lists are shared accross DOVE-net, allowing more visibility. :)

Awesome. Where? LOL
I'll gladly take a look, and if you have any specific set goals in mind, or any hard limits in mind, let me know. With my recent mod, I've gotten a fairly extensive self-made set of classes I wrote and use to handle things, and I'm looking to also extend it further to handle more things as I'm finding them useful.

My lightbar-driven New Scan Config is only the first step of my progress. Hopefully I can get Deuce back on board or something, to finish up the basic newuser.js to help fully customise new user creation. My goals there are big and very custom in mind.

Is there any way to actually get that information, as one thing I would like to do is completely customize the file listings themselves. Preferring, of course, not to have to use JavaScript to try to parse the database files directly.

I recently committed exec/load/filedir.js to the CVS, which will take care of this for you.

Create an instance of FileDir like so:

var fd = new FileDir(file_area.dir["dirname"]);

Access the file list like so (or however you prefer):

for(var f = 0; f < fd.files.length; f++) {
// Each element is an instance of DirFile
// This will show you what properties are available
write(JSON.stringify(fd.files[f]));
}

This is read-only for now. I may add in some options to edit details / move / copy / delete files at some point, or not.

There's also a lightbar file lister at exec/load/filearea-lb.js which does the basics (browsing, upload, download, batch tagging & downloads), and has a few simple customization options near the top of the script. (Or just use FileDir to make your own lister.)
